Golden Text: “‘Daniel posed in his heart that he would not deflle himself with the king's daintles, nor with the wine which he drank."— Dantel 1.8. pur- America has become the mecca for foreign-speaking students. Unlike Danfel and his companions, whose experience as students, forms the les- son for today, they have entered our educational institutions of their own free will, being moved by a desire to understand the secret of our Nation's greatness. If these earnest students from other lands should obtain false Impressions of our country's religious life through the intemperance, iniq- uity and immorality of some of their fellow students, it will have a serious effect upon our international rela- tions in the coming years. The stu dents of today will be the rulers of tomorrow. _ Missionary work has created the favorable impression th: has brought thousands to our educa- tional institutions seeking light upon the problems of the hour. No greater service can be rendered to our coun try, civilization and the Lord Jes by the Christians of America tha that of helpful friendship and f lowship for these students who have come to us from other lands. Men, who will mold the future of the world's destiny, are today enrolled n the universities of all natons, where they are laying the foundations for their life work. Moses received during his student days in Egypt's greatest educational institution, the training that fitted him to be the law giver and leader of his people. Paul owed to his college days in Tarsus, where he was Instructed in the prin- ciples of both Roman and Greek civil lzatton, much of the success that he attained as the ambassador to the Gentiles. Daniel was fitted for the eminent public positions, that he was summoned to fill, by the education he received in the royal college, located in the palace grounds of King Nebu chadnezzar of Babylon. It at the opening of his student days that Dan fel and three fellow Hebrew students mastered the subtile temptations pre sented by the voluptousness and worldliness of Babylon, the great world center of commerce, culture and creeds. g College Training.

Its glory was not all in its buildings, although it had one of the seven won ders of the world. It surpassed all the cities of its day its culture. This made its royal college one of the great educational institutions of an- clent days Babylonian scientists were in all probability the inventors of the art of The division of time wa owe to the scholars, Tablets discovered by Lay ard are in the British Museum.

Meeting Temptations. Names are significant in the East. the names of the four Hebrews wit nessed to their nationality and re- ligion. They were given new names when they were enrolied on the college register. Daniel, “God is my judge,’ was changed to Belshazzar, sel, protect my life.” Hananiah, “Jeho- vah is gracious,” was registered as hadrach, “command of ~Aku, the moon deity.” Mishael, “who is equal to God,” s called Meshach, a ame that has puzzled scholars. litsch explains it as meaning in is what Aku is?” Azariah, “God i Hea BISHOP JAMES E. FREEMAN = WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN at These in the Thursday, May s as they | 1t | helper,” was called Abednego, ‘serv- ant of Nebo.” The effect sought in each case was to obliterate the name of God and substitute that of some Babylonian deity. Ample provision was made by the king through his stewards for the support of the students enrolled in the royal college. Changing the names of the four Hebrew lads did not de- strov their faith, that called for them to meet the pressure of soclal cus- tom, college traditions and the rules of tchool in connection with their food and drink. It called for courage for them to decline to partake of the food and drink that the king ordered given to the students from his own table. Danfel's deciston “that he would not defile himself with the king's dainties, nor with the wine which he drank,” was due to the fact that a portion of the food and drink had been offered to the idols of the king, which in the minds of Daniel and his companions contaminated the rest of the meal In making his stand for total ab- stinence Danlel was moved by rell- gious convictions. He was following out the teachings of his parents. who may have perished during the battle, when the lads were taken captives, He was loyal to his conscience and nhedlent to God's word that Daniel re; called condemned their partaking of any food or drink offered to pagan zods. The temperance question is one that each individual can casily settle for himself, it he determines that loy alty to God calls for him to follow the example of Danfel, when he decided that he would not defile his body with that which was detrimental to health destructive of his spiritual wel- 2 found favor with his tutor and Melzar agreed to allow the four Hebrew youths to test their diet for ten days. They were supplied with the simple fare of the peasant class Fruit and vegetables were given them in abundance. The trial resulted in their favor. They had met the temptations of college lifs and won out. Their plumpness of form, which is the especial pride of the oriental, was superior to their fellow students, who had indulged in_the wine and choice dainties from the king's table. Total Abstinence Triumphant. The first advantage of the Hebrew students under the leadership of Daniel was a physical one. Modern science has confirmed the Seriptures The athlete must be a teetotaler to win victories.
